One of the many benefits of making your own baby food are the endless flavor combinations. With store bought baby food, we are limited to what the manufacturer thinks are the most popular food combinations. Your baby's taste buds and palate are developing during his first year of life, it is important to introduce him to as many new tastes and textures as you can.
It is really easy to make
yummy combinations. There is no need for
exact measurements or detailed recipes, simply combine equal portions of each
puree and see what tastes good to you and what flavor combinations your baby
likes. For example, if you want to make
an apple/pear combo, mix 2 ounces of apple puree with 2 ounces of pear puree. It’s that easy.
You can prepare yummy combos
in 2 different ways:
1)Prepare and store each
puree individually and combine right before serving. For example, make a batch of apple puree and
store. Make a batch of pear puree and
store. Before serving, scoop out equal
portions of apple and pear from their jars and combine in a serving bowl.
or
2) Combine purees immediately
after preparing and store together. This way they are pre-mixed in the jar and
ready to go. For example, make a batch
of apple puree and a batch of pear puree.
Combine the two purees in a bowl, place into Sage Spoonfuls jars and
store. You can even steam and puree the
2 fruits together, instead of cooking each individually first.
Sage Spoonfuls offers hundreds of
yummy combinations that are not only great for your baby’s first year, but are
also delicious for older babies and toddlers.
All you have to do is adjust the portion size and texture.
*Before combining foods, make sure your baby has tried
each one individually first, to be sure there are no
food allergies or intolerances.
